Norwegian (airlines) making a market push

KLM has given up rights for some starts and landings (so-called slots) at Schiphol airport to allow more competition on the New York route.

The Dutch carrier said it made the move in the light of European competition regulations, complying with a ruling by the European Commission. KLM gave up the slots so that other carriers could operate on the very competitive New York route, the Telegraaf reported on Monday.
